What Is A Gear Coupling?

Gear coupling is a rigid coupling composed of inner gear ring with the same number of teeth and flange half coupling with outer teeth.

The main function of the gear coupling is to connect two axes that are not coaxial, and to transmit torque and rotational motion.

The gear coupling has the following characteristics:

Withstand large bearing load capacity and torque.
Easy to tighten and disassemble.
Smooth operation, low noise.
Installation accuracy requirements are not high.
Long service life.

Gear coupling also has inner gear ring, gear sleeve and end cover and other main parts, usually small gear coupling end cover and inner gear ring can be formed integral.

According to the connection method, the gear coupling can be divided into internal meshing type and external meshing type, and can also be divided into latch type and elastic claw type according to the number of teeth.

Gear coupling is an important part widely used in all kinds of mechanical transmission devices, which can realize the connection and torque transmission of two axes with different coaxial directions, and has a high bearing capacity and a long service life.
